Abstract
UWI closely monitoring staff, students in China. The University of the West Indies (UWI) is working closely with the Global Institute of Software Technology (GIST) and other relevant local authorities in China to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff. UWI has an administrative presence and 36 students enrolled in a BSc Software Engineering programme at UWI-China Institute of Information Technology (UWI CIIT). The university said it has been closely monitoring the situation in China since the outbreak of the Coronavirus, which has killed 170 people and infected 7,711. At this time of inter-semester break, 28 students and one administrator are currently in Suzhou, China, which is not within the epicenter of the virus.
